In my homeland there are two seasons the wet season is the rainy season during this period of rainfall for months we are provided with enough water supply and we need umbrellas to go about our business; rain falls on crops that grow until we harvest food for storage and consumption. During this period we eat a lot of fresh cut foodstuff such as roasted corn and boiled corn, fresh groundnuts, plums and roasted plantains from the roadside as the ladies are roasting on the charcoal pot.

Flowers bloom in the raining season, brightening the environment and making the place look beautiful. The environment is beautiful and captivating, blooming, but the mud is also terrible when the rains are heavy, floods wash away houses and people die from landslides.

The dry season is a period of sunshine, the dryness of the air and the heat of the scourging sun is overhead heating up trees and grass in the fields. During this time there is too much dust on the streets and some are blown by the wind into the home, so we have to keep clean else we suffer air-borne contagious diseases, the sunshine dries clothes that we wash. The heat is so strong when someone lights a cigarette and throws it down it can set the whole area ablaze.

On the other hand, in the western culture on the whole, each of the four divisions of the year is winter, autumn, spring and summer. Winter is the coldest season of the year after autumn and before spring; it is freezing cold if you cannot afford to pay for heat it can be very difficult to live. Summer is the season after spring, the weather is the warmest, see people going to the beach to swim or to the swimming pool to swim. Autumn is the season after summer before winter. Spring is the season after winter and before summer, in which vegetation begins to appear.
